Yup there’s legit smoke surrounding this.. Tsai ready to push the button

I was watching the 2026 NBA Draft Lottery again and I discovered that the No. 1 pick was almost in the hands of the Brooklyn Nets. The 4-2 first two digit combination for the No. 1 pick essentially made it a 50-50 chance for BKN and WAS. #1 was next, but #12 right behind. If the number had been #12 instead of #1 for that third ball being selected, the Nets would’ve had a 91% chance at the No. 1 pick with 10 of the 11 remaining combinations, compared to the Wizards having just one combination at 9%. Once #1 became the third number, the Wizards instantly won the lottery, regardless of what the final number (13) was. A split second took the Nets from being in the driver’s seat for the No. 1 pick to being out of the top four and selecting No. 6 overall. Brutal.

Two teams are expected to hold trade talks with the Wizards about the No. 1 pick: the Jazz & Nets. While the expectation is that Washington will keep the pick and take AJ Dybantsa, the Wizards will hear out all offers coming their way. More on the draft and trade talks below:
